Three cheers for solid colors, old-school look, cool name, fast announcement<br/><span class='hl2'>NBA in OKC: New team shouldn't fight football for attention</span>

Here's what I'm hoping:

I'm hoping the owners have discussed this amongst themselves with no e-mails, and they are men possessed and unified in their future endeavor.

I'm hoping the uniform has an old-school look, this being a collegiate state and all.

I'm hoping for primary colors, pure colors, solid colors.

I'm hoping for one-syllable colors. You know, colors you can spell and pronounce.

(This eliminates alizarin, amaranth, chartreuse, cerise, fuschia, gamboge, heliotrope, mauve, periwinkle, saffron, zinnwaldite and any tint that remotely resembles the old Kansas State uniforms.)

I'm hoping the uniform already has gained league approval and is tucked away in a vault, ready for its coming-out party.

I'm hoping since the league had the foresight to have an "OKC NBA” backdrop ready for the relocation announcement and black-and-white uniforms ready for the summer league team, that finalizing the actual team uniform carried a much higher priority.

I'm hoping this unveiling happens within the next 2-3 weeks, because it's foolish to fight football for attention when you don't have to.

Most of all, I'm hoping this nickname has nothing to do with the weather.

I don't know when the owners will reveal the new name and wardrobe, but try this uniform on for size:

Nickname: Barons

Colors: Black, gold and white.

Announcement: July 16 (day after the All-Star Game).
